1 of Series
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
Camlakey Park, Chicago, III., Sept. 7.
When Hippo Jim Vaughn, the giant
southpaw of the Cubs, suffered a re
lapse In that fourth inning here this
afternoon, fo thereby permitted the
haughty Boston crew to get tho Jump
In tho: third clash of the 1918 world
series championship. The Tied Sox boys
bunched four hits with a man hit by
pitched ball tot a brace of tattle's.
While Vaughn suffered his Usual one
bad Inning-, Carl Mays, the underhand
artier, wan sailing along beautifully. Not
until the fifth did he nllcw a run to get
o'er the plate. That one counter -resulted
from some timely hitting by the
well-known and reliable William Kllle
fer. After Charley Pick sent a lluky
double to .left field, Klllefer came to hl.t
aid with a slashing Blngle to left, and
the former Jlackman, later of the CoaHt
League, dsnted the rubber.
While the stands were net filled to
capacity, by far the best crowd of the
present series. as In' attendance. Xo
figures were given out, but It Is esti
mated that more than 25,000 were pres
ent. Tho crowd was noisy and demon
strative. The day broke clear and much warmer
that It had been on Thursday nnd Fri
day. After the game was under way a
few stray rain clouds passed over the
field. This served to give the fans In
tne bleachers their' chanc? to dash for
protection and many of them made
the' covered section In safety.
There were no battle "of Importance
placed, aside, from the regular game.
Knabr, .the belligerent, and Wagner, the
hostile, were unusually gentle today.
Merkle had some hard luck In the
seventh 'when he to6k three healthy
swings with two mates watting on tho
hassocks 'to be rescued:
Again Harry Hooper led off against
Vaughn by reachlngflrst In safety.
On Hho- first day of tho series Hooper
worked the big portslder for a base
on balls, but, this, afternoon, after-Carrying
the" counftwo nnd two, sent a
Tekas leaguer just out 'of Hollocher'a
reach. Shean filed to Mann' and Hooner
tv was doubled off first on' Strunk's line
'y ffpltt r'n'HnflnnhAr. thllH tmlllnr Vftllffhn
!s HoliooW pulftav tneuble"ktirrii:-
It was an -easy chance, as Strunk
smashed the ball directly at the ,cub
nor .fielder.-
Ffack-'hajr. proved: la bo a valuable
lead-off man.' arid again started by
working Mays for a pass. Hollocher laid
down a beautiful sacrifice. Mann filed
to Hooper. WlthvFlack on second Mays
lost plenty of time, stalling with the
evident Intention of getting Flack nerv
ous and overanxious. Faskcrt had his
chance now to deliver, but Mays had
the ,7iop working on his fast one and
fanned the 'Veteran. '
The Red; Sox started the second inning
by getting a man on base, but It proved
useless. Whlteman opened with a sin
gle to, left. Just as he rounded second
the rain began to fall, the crowd scat
tered, and everything was temporarily
unsettled, Mclnnls tried to sacrifice on
Ms third strike, but It was a foul, and
he was' out. Schang tried hard to put"
the ball' out of the lot, but his effort was
wasted. He took a healthy swing at the
thlrd one, but missed. The hit-and-run
signs were out, and Whlteman, with all
wings spread, dashed to second In safety.
Again the effort was useless, for, after
Hollocher gave Scott a life on a fumble,
Thomas ended the frame by flying tc
Flack.
The second Inning was a silent one,
the Cubs falling to do anything with
Maya's 'mystifying delivery.-
,' 'Mays took his turn at the bat to open
the th!r,d Inning, He took one ball and
i two strikes before he grounded to
"" Hollocher, Hooper was easy for Merkle
and Vaughn, Shean'reversed the scene
, by giving Vaughn the assist and Merkle
theputout.
Klllefer neglected to come through
. with anything like a hit in his first
time up. He missed the first one, then
rolled to Shean. Vaughn followed Kllle
fer over the same route. Flack took
one 'strike, then' hit one of Maya's, elusive
floaters one top for an easy chance for
Mclnnls. s
Big Jim Vaughn went to the hill con
Jldent.and smiling In that big Red Sox
fourth. jBlg Jim wasn't so happy when
he .'made his departure. Tho .Hippo
started brilliantly by making Amos
Strunk walk suddenly back to (he bench,
a 'strike-out victim. Then Whlteman,
Babe Ruth's able substitute who has
been delivering so well In the series,
permitted qne of Vaughn's speeders to
jjent .one of his ribs,' He was given safe
passage to first base.
After Mclnnls failed twice on the
hit-and-run he finally connected for a
safety. Schang, the aggressive, took one
ball, then nailed tre second, which was
ht; over the heart of the pldto. The
bait went sailing safely over second, en
.ablins .Whlteman to cross the plate.

ALL SLIGHT INJURIES
Pershing Now Personally
Commands 90 Per Cent of
'American Forces
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
Staff Cormpondcnl I'rmlno PuWIe Ltdotr
Washington, Sept. 7.
Three facts stood out In General
(March's talk to newspaper concspon-
dints today. These were that there
havo been 20,000 listed ns "light" by
tho surgeons, among the American
forces, not reported by cable; that
more than 90 per cent of the American
soldiers In Franco are now under the
command of General Pershing In the
American sectors In France, that Is to
say, no longer brigaded with tho
French and British; and that nt their
furthest point tho Allies are now no
more then ten miles fiom the Illn
denburg line.
Tho additional casualties give a
larger conception of the extent to
which the American forces have par
tlclpoted In the fighting. The concen
tration of the Americans under their
own commander Indicates the conn
denco felt in them as an army. , The
policy of brigading them with tho
British nnd Fiench.was a temporary
expedient, a means of using quickly
green troops who could hardly bo
trusted to occupy long sectors against
the enemy. Now men going abroad
from our cantonments will be trained
briefly behind the lines with the
British and the French, Jjut this train
ing will be very brief, so that nt no
time In tho future is tho percentage of
tho American army concentrated
under the command of General Persh
ing likely to be smaller than it is
today.
Wound" Merely Superficial
The 20,000 unreported casualties came
ns a surprise, but General Pershing, In
order to expedite Informing the nation
of Its real loses, requested permission
i not to report slight wounds from which
complete recovery wns In the opinion of
sureeons sure to be prompt. Many of
others heal In a few days and the men
are back In the line. It was felt that
there was nothing tq Rain from report
ing, such casualties ; Indeed, the cabling
of them would unnocessarllyalarm rela
tives. Bad news of them has come to this
country from private sources. They
have written home about being Wounded
when their names were not on tho pub
lished lists of the Injured. This tended
to create distrust and establish a belief
that the War Department was not deal
ing frankly with the country. The
names of tho 20,000 slightly wounded
will shortly be made public, and In the
future the policy will be to Include in tho
.reports all casualties, no matter how
minor.
